Delicious and easy to make strawberry cookies with the delightful addition of chocolate chips.
Valentine’s Day is around the corner and these Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies will add a perfect touch to this sweetheart of a day!
These cookies are a cake mix cookie that deliver just the perfect combination of strawberry and chocolate flavor. The recipe is very simple and easy to make and no one will ever know that you used a cake mix!
There are some of you out there that might not be fond of using boxed mixes in making cookies but the Strawberry cake mix really delivers the flavor without being overpowering. It also gives the cookie a great thick consistency but still are soft and light.
Ingredients
1 box strawberry cake mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and baking powder. Set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and vanilla by hand. Add the egg mixture to the cake mixture and stir to form dough. Stir vigorously until all of the pockets of dry cake mix are gone. Gently mix in the chocolate chips.
3. Drop rounded balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheet. Place a few more chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls if for looks, if desired.
4. Bake for 10 minutes – do not let the cookies get brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes; they will be very soft at first. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Two tablespoons of dough is just about right for these cookies but you can make them any size you want. You will just have to adjust the baking time accordingly.
Although these cookies would be great to serve this Valentine’s Day, they would make a great spring or Easter cookie too!
